The angel represents the host of angels in the Nativity story, while the star represents the Star of Bethlehem. However, Christmas tree decorations did not always follow this tradition, with early trees featuring a lit candle at the top and even earlier trees being hung upside down to represent the Holy Trinity. These traditions are all based on Norse pagan nature worship, in which Norse pagans would bring entire evergreen trees (known as Yule Trees) into their homes.1 Modern Pagan tree toppers celebrate winter solstice rather than Christmas and tend to feature images of the sun rather than angels or stars.

About Me

To the source! I started this blog as a way to show what I love the most (houses and gardens) After some time I realized how annoying was to found photo with no link to the source (and maybe the story behind) that when I took the resolution to get the sources of every picture I post. A la fuente! Comencé este blog como una manera de mostrar lo que más me gusta (casas y jardines) Después de un tiempo me di cuenta de lo molesto era encontrar imágenes sin enlace a la fuente (y tal vez la historia detrás de ellas) fue entonces cuando tomé la resolución de obtener las fuentes de cada foto que publico.
